which is to take place this fall will very
materially reduce the interest charged.
The annexation by the city of territory
which has heretofore depended on the
county for its grading, bridging and other

There is no valid reason why taxation
should not be reduced both for city and

While taxes have been very light in
Omaha on the basis of real values, the
nigh rate levied on assessed values has
had tendency to frighten capitalists
and investors. A reduction of the tax
rate will have very beneficial effect.

Reduced Taxation.

When we stated in our last issue that
the assessed valuation Of property in
Omaha for municipal taxation, would, at
three percent. yield 3 45O, 900. during the
present year; our estimate was based on
an aggregate assessment Of SIS, 200, 600.
This is at least q, coo, 600 below what the
assessment will be, if made on the pre-
vailing basis of one-fourth or even one
fifth of actual values. Instead Of
go, 900, 600 as figured in our previous es-
innate, the assessed valuation of Omaha
last year was tl2.000,0 900. The increase
for the present year, by the rise of real
estate values, improvements and annexa-
tion of new territory, should at low
estimate, add to last years assessment
roll from -, 900, 900 to g, 5,OO0, 900.
On three per cent tax the city's in
come In 1887. would reach over hall q
million dollars. With this enormous
sum at its disposal, there will be no ex-
cuse for an overlap. Last year the city
taxes were 4 per cent. This year 30
mills will more than meet all demands of
the municipal government. The i'm
provements already under way this year
justify tho prediction that the city taxes
can be reduced to per cent IN 1888 with.

THE State of Ohio, which has main
tanned good credit since the war, has
been having considerable trouble with its
finances for the past two or three years.
The management of state affairs during
the Hoadley administration was reck-
lessly eXtravagant, and before that ad-
minlstratlon expired 1t was compelled to
anticipate the collection of taxes in order
to meet the demands OH the treasury. 1t
left to its successor a bankrupt treasury,
with large demands in sight. The repub.
lican administration by wise manage
ment provided for these obligations, and
the legislature reduced expenditures, but
it refused to increase the tax levy, and it
now appears that the resources of the
treasury will be exhausted by June l.,
and from that time until August the
state will have to be run on credit. The
legacy of recent democratic government
IN OHIO ought to make that state safely
republican for long time to come.

The labor alliance. of San Francisco, is

fully compete with the coolies in many
branches, especially in the manufacture
of cigars. At meeting of the new
trades union alliance this week, COM
mittee previously appointed to devise q
certificate for the use of those dealers in
cigars who do not patronlze Chinese
labor. made formal report. The cer-
tificate read:
"TO whom it may concern: The holder Of
this certificate has pledged himself to the
Labor Unions Mutual alliance and the
Cigarmakers' International union not to buy,
sell or make any Chinese cigars, wholesale
or retail; and. further, to foster the interests
of home industry"
1t was unanimously agreed by all
members of the trades unions that num-
erous mass-meetings be held, and a
united effort be made to abolish Chinese
labor in manufacturing goods of all
kinds.
